The Pottsboro Library is the heart of the community, open to all and dedicated to making life better for everyone in town. We provide essential services that support local economic growth and workforce development, offering access to technology, digital literacy training, and career exploration programs. Our partnerships with schools and organizations ensure that early literacy thrives, while our telehealth initiatives help residents overcome barriers to healthcare. Whether it’s helping a job seeker find new opportunities through virtual reality career exploration, providing a safe space for kids to learn and grow, or making technology accessible for older adults, we are here to bridge gaps and strengthen our community. At Pottsboro Library, we don’t just lend books—we connect people to resources, opportunities, and each other.
